"Jan Aart Scholte's new book provides an introduction to globalization covering its definition, measurement, history, causes, consequences and policy implications. The book analyses the cultural, ecological, economic, geographical, political and psychological aspects of globalization, and provides a carefully weighed and richly illustrated assessment of the benefits and ills that have flowed from globalization as well as suggestions for steering it towards more positive outcomes in the future."--BOOK JACKET
